Too much, too little
Too much: Counts too closely, won't invest, and misses the window that required nerve.
Too little: Nothing accumulates; income is erratic, or money is simply an abstraction.
No god here is lucky or unlucky — only abundant or scarce. The same one can be support or burden depending on the balance of the whole chart.

Matching polarity repels and opposing polarity attracts, which is why this god acts more moderately and with more reason.
